German term or phrase: Seitenschere
This is part of an aircraft door, but I'm not sure what exactly. Obviously not scissors or shears, possibly part of a lock mechanism, but not really evidently so, as it is also included as part of the egde beams, as they serve as a stop for the edge beams, for example.

Explanation:
OK, when you speak of scissors and doors, this is the first thing that comes to my mind (and no snarky comments about what sort of mind *I* must have, please).

Although this is for a boat, I can see the same thing on aircraft.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Although I can imagine the same thing being possible on aircraft, it seems rather specific and looks nothing like what this door has.
